Securing blackpowder storage box

[Rollo]

I've been told that when I get an appropriate wooden box for storing black powder containers that this box will have to be chained down to at least make an additional gesture towards security.

I know people will often attach a chain to the padlock that can lock the box, so my question is what would you attach the other end of the chain to ?

I'm thinking about something like a Eye bolt chemically anchored into the wall, and then another padlock to attach the chain to bolt.

I could use something like a staple from a hasp set but the bolt heads would be exposed without a hasp covering them.

Any ideas ?

My box is secured by chain around the leg of my steel workbench and the padlock through the box's hasp and chain.

FEO was more than happy with this arrangment.

I screwed a small eye bolt into the skirting board, run the chain through the eye and through the padlock on he box.

It seems that the objective is to stop a visitor, (workmen etc), from picking up the box and taking it away.

Different areas have different rules. Some say put it in the loft. Some tell you to chain it up, and some tell you not to chain it up so if there is a fire you can pick up the box and chuck it out of the window. (To stop the firemen being blown up).

seems massive varience in the opinions. My box is kept in a spare room, available to be removed if there is a fire or anything . Theres no requiement for it to be chained or secured in any way!!

I'd ask you FLO why he wants it chaining as i don't think its required as part of the explosives guidance

Mine is chained around a Dexion leg (Steel shelving). FEO was happy. It's not particularly substantial, and as it is in the garage there are plenty of tools around which could be used to release it quite quickly I suspect. I believe there is no documented standard, and it's just to stop a casual thief walking off with it without breaking something (elevates the crime to a higher level if the goblin damages something).

I've heard about people being told not to put them in the loft, if there was a fire and you couldn't get it out in time all the roof tiles would turn into shrapnel and cover quite a big area. My friend put his in a coat cupboard near an outside door, chained to the wall and his FEO was more than happy about that

Mine didn't want it fixed if it was in the house,only if it was in a shed or garage.
